    This is for practicing either cueball placement at the point of contact or being able to learn different aiming systems and getting a visual placement of the cueball at the point of contact.

    Multi Focus Contacts

    This is crazy... I haven't worn contacts in 7+ years. I really notice a shift, when wearing glasses, in object ball location when moving my glasses in and out of my line of sight. Not to mention having to crane my head trying to look through the top of my glasses when getting down on a shot. So...

    Thanks to everyone's patience. I have not collected a cent yet as I want to make sure I have everything in place and i am working out the kinks. For those that have shown interest I will be contacting you tomorrow and plan on shipping Thursday. Tough to do this and have a job as well 😀

    Looks like I might be able to do ground advantage at just over 5 bucks on usps

    Ok for the orders I have I am trying to figure out the best way to ship them. FedEx I hear is reasonable. Usps is 10.40 for their priority and UPS is around that for ground. Never really dealt with multiple shipments before like this anyone got suggestions?

    That is great for dead center hits! Now try the same drill with low right. That's what the Aiminator enables you to practice. Using any type of tip placement on the cueball and be able to split the pegs without hitting them thus making the shot.

    That mention was more for the earlier days of what has become azbilliards. I have known the old school members from the rec.sport.billiards and alt.sport.pool days when my handle was sscs. I don't view AZbilliards as an entity. It is where everybody arrived when the old locations closed.

    On the instructor version there is a indicator to show tangent line and is far enough away from the base to allow for shots greater than 15 degrees. If u adjust the base wider it will allow for all shots. Sorry on my phone so this is the best I got for now. Green dot is where the cueball needs...

    When testing the validity if the Aiminator I actually shot 1000 shots over the span of 8 days. When I started I was able to hit 6 without moving the pegs out of 10. After the 1000 shots I could consistently hit 8 out of 10. I found my weakness was no longer missing shots but position play. It...

    It is adjustable. If you want to start out with a big gap and keep making the aim lane thinner as you get better I have made that possible. Problem with making a video you can't put EVERYTHING it does in the introductory. It would be 20 minutes long and I would have lost most by minute 5. I...

    And when you knock over the golf tee how long does ot take to walk down to the end of the table. Measure the space between the tees go back up the end of the table get back into your stance and stroke again. In that time, with my practice aid, you could have taken 2 additional practice shots.

    I have developed a training aid that gives immediate feedback on cueball placement at the point of contact. I created a video for it below. Please leave feedback on the concept and if interested either PM me or use the email in the video. Because AZ Billiards forums has had a huge influence on...

    Id cue please.

    Because I am an amateurish cue maker that likes to practice on cheap cues I can pick up for cheap. 😀

    Id cue please.

    Excellent work Benelli! I will take the clear coat off and preserve the sig. Not sure what they used but it has lots of bubbles in the finish and a lot of buildup and delam on the joint. The points have around 3/4 of an inch mismatch.

    Id cue please.

    No frills points I guess I should have said. I think the joint is phenolic but can't tell until I get the clearcoat off of it. It's short by about 2-3 inches.

    CA clearcoat SS joint.

    I wanted to follow up with what worked for me. I used a sharpie marker on the ss joint while turning it in the lathe. Just colored it while it turned. I dropped the playing card application and went to a paper towel to put the CA on. After 5 or 6 coats you just have to touch the CA on the joint...
